Teaching Interests and Experience:

I have taught online courses at NAU for 5 years now. I emphasize writing and critical thought/analysis in my classes. I believe that it is essential for students to think about not only the subject matter of the course, but also why they have chosen to take the course in the first place. It is my hope that all students finish their courses with a greater overall understanding of criminal justice as it relates to the "real world", rather than merely memorizing a series of facts, so they may be fully prepared for their chosen careers. I have taught the following classes online: CCJ 101: Introduction to Crime and Justice, CCJ 215 (starting this semester): Media, Crime and Criminal Justice, CCJ 250: Criminology, CCJ 312: Environmental Crime, CCJ 340: White-Collar and Corporate Crime, CCJ 345w: Investigating Difference
